LEARN TO MAKE NATURAL COLD PROCESS SOAP FROM SCRATCH

Learn to make beautiful, long-lasting, natural soap that is free of any additives, preservatives, sulphates and other nasty chemicals that can be found in commercial soaps. In this busy hands-on workshop you will be walked through the entire process of making traditional all-natural cold process vegan soap using organic vegetable oils, lye, pure essential oils, natural clays and organic botanicals. We will briefly cover the chemistry of soap making, plus lye safety, calculating recipes, properties of oils, measuring ingredients, preparing soap molds, cutting and curing soap, and sourcing ingredients.

Each participant will make their own custom 2.5 lb batch of organic vegan soap to take home (aprox. 10 large bars). All ingredients, tools, including a take-home wooden handcrafted soap mold & cutter, instructions, handout notes and recipes will be provided.

What to bring along:

Participants are asked to bring an old towel, wear old clothes and an apron as soap making can be messy. We work with lye outdoors, so please bring an outdoor jacket/boots suitable for the weather. The rest of the class is held indoors.
